A Pennsylvania volunteer fire company says it has canceled this year's Easter egg hunt for children because of "unruly" parents in past years. The Norco Fire Company in North Coventry Township says on its Facebook page the annual children's event won't be held this year. Deputy Chief Chuck Hipple says there has been a recurring problem of some parents running onto the field despite having been told not to and posing a danger to children, the AP reports. He says it's not the majority of people but a few people "just can't seem to let the kids have fun." Officials say they hope to try to hold the event in the township another year. (An egg hunt in Connecticut last year was wrecked by parents "acting like locusts.")

Our city has done the same thing after a few parents literally step on kids to get to the eggs. others were just grabbing hings and then handing them to their kids. It was so bad. one family or group of friends managed to get 70% of the eggs because the parents and teens of that group rushed the event and just started picking up items and shoving them in their kids baskets, this was for the 5 and under group. After that they didn't even do the rest of the age groups. What some people will do for free stuff is amazing

Probably a bunch of honkeys that can't follow instructions.

Newser this is Fedora and I'm going to win the Egg Hunting Contest for Jesus this weekend. Dad was a Marine Sniper and he said my victory is guaranteed. Jesus will have so many Eggs he can have a Chicken Sandwich later at Chick Fillet, the one that is open on Sundays run by Col. Sanders! Now I lay me down to sleep, Jesus keep daddy in ammo!
